I am with you on the 1861 type set

However, my number one gotta have ... Continental Currency Dollar. Oh yes ... you will be mine!

rdunnit · August 25, 2006 1:38PM

1 of every coin ever made (Worldwide)

CarlWohlforth · August 25, 2006 1:43PM

I like your choice of an 1861 year set. I already have a super proof Buff. The Pan Pac $50 is on my list. Well both $50 Pan Pacs are on my list.

I'm also wanting a nice chain cent.

OK, one big thing on my list is Gobrecht dollars. Yup I want a type set of G$s. OK, OK, if I can't have the set I'll just take the cheapest one... I'll buy the rest once I win the lotto...

No reason to be crude people.

clw54 · August 25, 2006 2:12PM

1870-S dollar.

Newmismatist · August 25, 2006 2:13PM

I'd start with a coiled Hair Stella, followed by an Ultra High Relief. Then a complete set of every gold pattern. If I had any money left after that I'd start on a complete set of Regular issue Proof gold then I'd . . . . well I'd be pretty old and quite broke by that time, but a gem set of Bust Halfs would be a nice finish.

Ricke · August 25, 2006 2:15PM

some people have tails... it's kinda freaky.

My dream list... hmmmmm....

No more dreaming, now I just sleep a lot.

What makes you think I was offended by rec78?

"Tail" is a VERY offensive term, I have discovered. I am not "flattered," Fletcher.

STONE · August 25, 2006 9:13PM

With unlimited funds, I would work on a MS set of US coins from 1793-Present (non-gold). All denominations and dates; I would even buy the proofs.

Until then, I am working on a mostly circulated set from 1793-Present.

I would also buy a high grade Proof Set 1c-$20 from 1888 (100 years before I was born).

fivecents · August 25, 2006 9:44PM

My dream list would be a highest grade set of bust and flowing hair dollars, halves. dimes and half dimes. And yes the list would include the highest grade 1804 proof dollar.

Ricke · August 26, 2006 1:32PM

<< Cool website Ricke ... my family is from Council Grove

Thank you, sir! my site has been a very enjoyable project for the past year and change.

Council Grove is a nice. When I first moved out this way from Seattle, I moved in with my (now) wife in Manhattan - also a nice town out that way, but a little geared toward the college kids.

SilverEagles92 · August 26, 2006 1:35PM

1) 1913 V Nickel
2) 1933 Saint
3) 1964 D Peace Dollar
4) Contursi Silver Dollar

AZLARRY · August 26, 2006 1:51PM

A Gobrecht Dollar for my type set would qualify as a "dream coin' for me.

Coxe · August 26, 2006 1:54PM

I thought about it and realized I got a lot of what would have been on my dream list years and years ago. A few prooflike Morgans remain on the list though: 1883-S, 1893-S, and 1921-S.

-Amanda

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

this is the rarest coin on the list

why did you choose the pop top killer biz strike 1863???????

MikeKing · August 27, 2006 2:56PM

If I had all the money in the world to spend on coins, I wouldn't necessarily go for grade or hype. I would find whatever it was that I liked, perhaps travel more to find what I'd like, but the story would be the same. Well...maybe a little different, like a as complete a gold type set as I could theoretically complete...maybe...This grade stuff, and this pan pac stella stuff...that's not coin collecting...

D · August 27, 2006 3:10PM

Full MS 1916 Mint Set with gold (Currently attempting this ;o, but its tough in the 25k and under club)
Full Dahlonega date/denom set
Breast Stamped Brasher Doubloon
J-1776
A Merc Dime pattern
The, what I call Twilight Zone 1916 pattern Walker, with the odd looking "Liberty"
and this pattern:

I'd be content with just seeing most of these in person though, ownership isn't a necessity for me so much.

-Daniel

majorbigtime · August 27, 2006 3:41PM

What's your dream list?

A meaningful PCGS guaranty of authenticity!

rec78 · August 27, 2006 4:07PM

The Louis Eliasberg collection plus everything that has been discovered since.
But realistically though--If you could get anything you wanted would it still be fun? Would it be a challenge if you had no competition? Would you learn much by just puchasing coins and not studying them? Wouldn't it get old fast?
If this were the case i think i would abandon collecting coins or collecting anything for that matter and take up a different hobby. Bob

Gator5220 · August 27, 2006 4:08PM

1904-O rainbow toned Morgan

ER · August 27, 2006 4:09PM
